"It's worth a try," wrote New York Times columnist Kevin Roose of his attempt to auction one of his articles as a non-fungible token (NFT). Just a day later, however, it appears to be worth much more than that.
After publishing a step-by-step NFT explainer titled "Buy This Column on the Blockchain!" on Wednesday, Roose has successfully auctioned today what he calls a "digital original" of his article as an NFT on the Foundation platform, raising over $550,000 for charity.
